Yes, yes. I said I was going to have this out earlier, but I'm a terrible procrastinator. >.>

Spoiler:- Chapter 6:

Over the next 3 days, Minoru had finished his work on the special project. He had been shut up in his laboratory, which is about the best way to describe the room, for about a week. Around the large, kido lit room were many strange devices: experiments and other unidentified objects sat on stone tables, hung from the wall, or were put away inside large storage containers or cages of some sort.

On the back-most wall of the room, Minoru sat at his computer station. Minoru’s appearance was that of a man in his late twenties: tall, slim and with a light skin color. He had shaggy, dirty blond hair and glassy green eyes with dark circles underneath. He wore the same outfit as his comrades, but with the addition of a stereotypical white lab coat with several Velcro pockets. His sealed zanpakuto, which looked like a typical katana, hung from the back of his chair.

In front of him were three large, slim monitors which seemed to be the only visible part of the computer. Minoru used a holographic interface which looked like a complex and futuristic keyboard. He was very familiar with the machine, as he seemed to work pretty quickly: he could type up several commands, bring up holographic mini view screens and charts, and listen to his favorite music all at the same time.

“Hmm, I could probably increase its overall spread range if I…” Minoru cut off his sentence when he noticed Suzuka approaching behind him.

“Long time no see, Minoru. I hope you’ve made some progress,” Suzuka said in an expecting tone.

Minoru took out his earphones so he could give his full attention to Suzuka. “Of course, I finished the necessary elements a few hours ago. Now I’m pondering over how to increase its overall abilities. I believe I’m very close to a solution.”

“Well then, I’ll give you another hour to finish it up. Then we will take an hour to prepare for the assault on the Human World and Soul Society,” Suzuka instructed.

“That will be a sufficient amount of time. I’ll be ready to leave soon,” Minoru replied with a satisfied look. As Suzuka turned and walked out of the laboratory, Minoru returned to his computer and continued to ramble to himself.

-----

A couple of hours later in the late night sky over Tokyo, Japan, a Garganta opened and three figures stepped through. The first was a tall and bulky man with long hair and attire that gave him a casual “blue collar” worker look. The second figure, who came up next to the first, was a younger man, hair combed back, wearing a biker outfit. The last figure to emerge from the Garganta was a mature man with short, black hair. He stood a few inches shorter than the first man. He wore the same modified Soul Reaper uniform as Suzuka and Minoru.

“I’m a bit bummed out that the girls couldn’t come with us, instead. They’re always so much fun to hang out with!” The young man complained to the bulky man.
“Suzuka gave them their own mission. Those two can handle themselves anyways, no need for you to be worried, Spike,” the bulky man gave Spike a teasing look.

“Oh shut up Montez. I ain’t worried about those two. It’s just bit boring without them,” Spike retorted in a slightly flustered tone.

The rouge Soul Reaper turned back to the Garganta and threw into it a small device he pulled out from an inner pocket of his uniform. As the other two turned to look at him, there was a dim green flash that filled the opening of the Garganta.

“Now that the Garganta is set up, we can continue with the next part of the plan.” The Soul Reaper instructed to the other two men.

“Okay. Spike; go to the place the Suzuka showed us. It should only be a few miles west of here. If you can’t seem to find it, just use your Pesquisa to find their spiritual pressure,” Montez pointed his Fracción in the direction he needed to go.

“Can’t I go check out some of the girls down in the city first?” Spike asked in a devious tone.

“No, you need to focus on the mission and nothing else. If you survive, then you can go do whatever you want.”

“Fine, fine; I guess I’ll just have to play later.” Spike used his Sonído to disappear into the west.

“I’ve got my own instructions to carry out, too,” the Soul Reaper said as he unsheathed his sword.

The Soul Reaper turned to the north east and then flash stepped away. Montez waited a few minutes until Hollows started to come through the Garganta. At first they’d come out a few at a time, but steadily increased until they seemed to pour out. The Garganta started to expand as Gillians climbed out. The Gillians and other non-aerial Hollows seemed to float to the ground, and then they split into smaller groups as they went in different directions. After the dozen or so Gillians, came a smaller group of Hollows that seemed to differ from the common Hollows.

-----

At the same moment Montez and his group arrived over Tokyo, another Garganta opened above Frankfurt, Germany. A trio of figures appeared from the Garganta. The three figures were two teenage female Arrancar and a young adult male Soul Reaper.

“Hey, hey Dani!” the first of the two girls exclaimed to get the attention of the other.

“What do you want, Maddy?”

“I think we should go get some Häagen-Dazs!” she answered enthusiastically.

“Häagen-Dazs was made by Polish-Americans, you idiot,” Dani laughed in reply.

Maddy had light skin and short and curly, dark brown hair. She wore a more fashionable version of the old Arrancar uniform, with a knee length skirt, no sleeves and rainbow arm warmers. Maddy’s Hollow remains were a monocle on her right eye. Her zanpakuto sat on her right hip. Maddy was a short girl, standing only five feet (1.52m) tall.

Dani was about a head taller than Maddy. She had tan skin, black wavy chest length hair and teal colored eyes. She wore a white tunic sweater with teal sleeves and black knee high boots. Her odd, horn shaped Hollow remains sat on the top-left side of her head. Her zanpakuto is hung from a black leather belt she wore around her waist over the tunic sweater.

The male Soul Reaper was a few inches taller than Dani. He had pale skin and black short, spiky hair that looked greasy. He wore the rogue Soul Reaper outfit like the others. His zanpakuto hung on his back with the hilt over his left shoulder. He applied the same device to the Garganta that the Soul Reaper with Montez used. Once finished, he walked over to the two girls who were looking down on the citizens of Frankfurt.

“So, what can we do in Germany? Oh, maybe we can go frolic around in the Black Forest or try some Bratwurst,” Maddy started laughing.

“I’d rather go to Oktoberfest and get drunk silly,” Dani said with a grin.

“Oooh, that sounds great too!” The two girls laughed for no real reason.

“We’ve got work to do you two, don’t go slacking off,” the male Soul Reaper said sternly.

“Yeah yeah, we know. Don’t be such a buzz-kill, Ryoma,” Maddy replied back while rolling her eyes.

“Alright, well I have to be at Laach Lake before any Court Guard Squad members get here. You two need to wait at the Garganta to make sure all the Hollows get through. And don’t forget to give the Adjuchas their orders too,” Ryoma instructed the two girls seriously.

“Ok Soul Reaper; we’ll be fine. You go on a head and play now,” Dani tried to tease Ryoma.

Ryoma just shot the two Arrancar girls an annoyed look and flash stepped away to the northwest. The girls stayed behind for a little while to makes sure all the Hollow came through the Garganta. They assigned an Adjuchas and a Gillian to guard the Garganta. Then they went off in search of high spiritual pressures in the cities.

-----

The sun was just starting to rise over the city of Chicago, Illinois. High over the city, a Garganta opened. From the opening emerged two Soul Reapers and a small, humanoid Hollow. One of the Soul Reapers applied the same green flash device to the Garganta and then disappeared using flash step. The second Soul Reaper disappeared soon after the first. The Hollow that was left stayed at Garganta to wait for the hordes of Hollows to come through.

“I don’t see much point to this plan, but at least it gives me something to do. I was starting to get bored just wandering around Hueco Mundo all the time. The quantity of strong opponents has been decreasing lately,” the Hollow said to itself as it watched the hordes coming through the Garganta.

-----

A few minutes after the three Garganta opened in the Human World, a Garganta formed within a forest on the outer edges of the northern section of the Rukon District. Out of this Garganta came Suzuka Makihara, Minoru Shibuya and the Arrancar Ladon Iktinos and his three Fracción. As Minoru set up the device on their Garganta, Suzuka seemed to be spacing out into the night sky.

“What are you staring at Suzuka?” Ladon asked the female Soul Reaper as he approached her side.

“Oh, I’m just feeling a bit nostalgic as I look up at the beautiful night sky of the Soul Society. Stargazing use to be one of my hobbies when lived here.”

“Please do not get too lost in your memories here Suzuka. We do have a mission we must accomplish. Hopefully by the time we are done here, the skies will still be clear enough for you gazing into more,” Minoru tried to remind his companion.

“Yes, I know there is work to be done. The only thing worse than not being able to see the magnificent stars in the heavens would be not completing what I came here to do,” Suzuka brought her sight back down and shifted it towards Ladon and his Fracción. “Ladon, I want you and two of your Fracción to follow me to the Seireitei. The other can stay behind with Minoru and finish preparations here.”

“Alright,” Ladon replied back. “Castor and Pollux,” he looked over to his men standing behind him. “You two are coming with me. Aetos, I want you to stay and help Minoru. You can catch up with us later.”

“Yes sir!” the three replied.

The group of four headed off through the forest, towards the south. Minoru and Aetos stayed behind to direct the horde of Hollows to head in the same direction as Suzuka’s group. As the horde started to grow, alert systems over in the Research and Development Institute went off like mad, surprising the night shift watchmen. Being of a cool head, 3rd seat Reggie Yamikou ran a quick diagnostic on the sensors to make sure they were functioning properly. When the results came back fine, he got a worried look on his face.

“I have to wake Captain Schiffer, he’s not going to like this,” Reggie begrudged to the other watchman.

Survival, defense, anything that might become useful in a post-apocalyptic world. It's pretty self-explanatory, you need any supplies you can get your hands on.

transforming key ftw.

Indeed. You can now go anywhere!

awesome weapon

There's a picture a few pages back, if you want to see what it'd look like.

the greatest lines ever. period.

I had so much fun writing this.

that movie sucked

Agreed, but it was a useful filler reference.

i remember Circ mentioning something about that

Ohyeah, that's the second reason that this starts in Cleveland, but it's going to jump to another Fullbringer's POV (sorta) during the next chapter, in a totally different place.

i can't think of one for reasons stated below

Ok, fair enough.

so since writing my last chapter i have a serious case of writer's block. at some point during the next week, i'll be writing a one-shot type of thing. i read that fic writers can get over block by writing one shots.

It's not true. At least not for me. Reading your previous works to clarify the plot direction you wanted to take can also help.

Thought. :P If I don't point this out, ILPy will later on

Thanks for that.

lol

Indeed.

All in all, that's a pretty interesting first chapter. I like the opening, and I'm certainly interested to read more. =] I wonder what caused the Hollow outbreak, and what happened to the Shinigami.

You've got good intuition.

Kusari - PC calendar says it's Friday. Why?

Yes, it's Friday. I messed up.

Haha, that's one even I missed. The one I was referencing was "I need a weapon", as said by Master Chief to Johnson in the first cutscene of Halo 2.

Decided to change the Fullbringer weapon (Something you make up on the spot often isn't what you want it to be. XD

Spoiler:- Fullbringer weapon:

A miniature stainless steel sniper rifle model, when 'fullbringed' it becomes a full fledged M82A1 SASR (, ammunition is provided by my reiatsu but it can fire conventional ammunition.

What it looks like: Spoiler:- Spoiler-image:

I'll remove my previous Fullbringer weapon.

That. is. epic.

"I'm fighting because there's a battle to be fought, Archer. I'm fighting to win. That's all."

"Hm. Alright, Rin. You are indeed my ideal Master. There is no one else I could hope to serve."

I have a bracelet with a Spear attached. My powers allows me to enlarge the Spear at will. It's totally Black. Has a chain in the bottom.

Spoiler:- Reply to Fullbring Weapon:

Hhmm, I like it, but how big is the spear when you haven't enlarged it? And what do you mean with 'Has a chain in the bottom'?

Ah, I haven't played Halo 2 in a while. Pretty obscure reference there.

Bad puns aside,

Spoiler:- Manga::

Anyone else disturbed by what Riruka seems to find 'cute'?

And if Kubo is really intending for Bleach to last another 10 years... I hope he'll stay original and it won't be like Dragonball Z... (AKA: I'm the strongest in the universe! *gets killed* *new enemy appears* I'm the strongest in the un... ect. ect.. ect...).

Hope I don't lose interest by then.

I'm off, ciaossu.

Might only be online next weekend, a lot of stuff to do.

Spoiler:

A repetition already happened... once. (Ichigo gets shinigami power! He loses it! He gets it back! With a Hollow mask! Oh.... he lost his power again. Hey, guess what? He's about to get it back ONCE again. ^_^)

Welp, as you know, i haven't posted on here in a while, although, i've had alot of times to be ABLE to do it, i didn't do it, because i've always been pissed off by Serebii's lag, but it's working quite well right now, and i've decided to rewrite my prologue, and to the people who already reviewed it beforehand, let me tell you, ignore the bottom statement, since i already told it to you but...

WARNING, EVERYTHING past Edelinna's description was a total crapshoot, i REALLY wanted to get my backstory out of the way, and I REALLY hate it, but i wan't to get back to the main story, so i apologize.
Peace, Love, and Fighting, here's my new Prologue. <3

Spoiler:- Prologue: Undead Flowers:

Undead Flowers, Reroll
"Fear is a state of MIND. Luckily, I'm Insane! "

Peace. This may seem like a word that was easy to understand, easy to obtain, but it was not, and no one in the Seireitei had ever believed they would see it. You see, peace used to be abundant. Now I'm not saying that we’re not still at peace, the Seireitei wasn't at WAR. They just weren't all, well, you know, happy. A better phrase for what they were was 'momentarily disgruntled'. It all happened maybe 100 years ago. On March 12th: they all grew sick of the colour blue. If anyone asked WHAT happened on March 12th, they would all just grimace and say they would tell you when you were older.

Of course, I've now piqued your interest. If I haven't, kindly leave the room before I press my secret button and you fall into a room full of everlasting fire where you will burn eternally. Thank you very much. So I guess before we get to the young kid running for his life across desert sands from the largest group of Vasto Lorde ever recorded, I’ll tell you what happened THAT day.

The Seireitei was peaceful, quite peaceful, as it had been for 500 years or so: with no major hollow outbreaks, no crazy god impersonators trying to take over the world because they could, no nothing. Some dubbed it “The Resting”. Others said we were just really damn lucky. Well, the Seireitei, was an organized place. The soul reapers who had the idiocy to tell humans about the Seireitei had mixed it up entirely. One of those humans was Tite Kubo. You should never trust him, and if you see him, shoot him. Twice. As I was saying...

The Head Captain, Edelina Logge, was worried. Extremely worried. Edelina Logge was someone to be feared, and the fact that she had a bloody lightning zanpakutou didn't help. No one would believe me if i said she was bouncing off the walls, so I'll stick with saying she was pacing back and forth eating candy. Edelina LOVED Candy. A lot, she ate it all the time, and it was a wonder how she kept her figure. Of course, things like figures were undescribed, and no one had bothered enough to question The Universe on why she wasn't immobile. Rumours even had it that she had a secret vault, that went as deep as a mountain, which was filled with just candy. She didn't have any redeeming features above the waste if you catch my drift… Ehem, onwards we go.

Edelina kept on receiving reports of murders, LOTS of Murders, in the past month. She had received reports of over 200 murders alone. Nobody even knew what the murderer looked like. All this was happening too fast. Although the mass murders were shocking, the fact that they were in district 80 was not. District 80, the sliming stink of the Seireitei, was where all the criminals, murderers, and violence was, the most horrid of the horrid, it was reviled. Of course, no one had BOTHERED to think that they should join them all together and treat everyone as equals. They had other matters to attend to, you know, like parties and stuff. As she was pacing, the 2nd squad captain, Jin, appeared behind her.
"Hey."
"EEP! I told you not to DO that!" Edelina cried with an exasperated sigh.
"15 more murders." Captain Jin said, a stoic expression that was not unknown on his face.
"WHAT?! That can't be, you just reported to me 8 hours ago!" said Edelina, clearly sick of all this.
"I don't control when murders happen."
"This is the last straw! I'm sending in the lieutenants to patrol District 80, 24/7!" Although Edelina was usually bubbly and quite fun to be around, she became very serious whenever trouble arose.
"These measures are unnecessary, we can simply send in Cell if you need someone to go th-"
They both froze. An immense reiatsu signature had just shown up. It was towering; they could both feel it easily from the middle of the Seireitei. Who could give off such a signature that they could feel it inside the reiatsu-cancelling walls of Squad 1?
"I’m going there now Jin, alert Zameric, I.L.P and Eon of this. Bring them all here, along with yourself. This ends NOW. Also alert Arcin if you can. I expect casualties." Edelina yelled, barely finishing before shunpo-ing off, the door of Squad 1 being blown off. Now she was worried, extremely worried; it was a massive reiatsu signature, but it was uncontrolled, clearly whoever had it had no idea what they were doing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edelina arrived at the sign of the massive signature shortly, followed by Eon, I.L.P, Jin, and Zameric. Arcin had arrived shortly after, a confused expression on his face, and the cookie in his mouth falling on the ground, the scene before them was disgusting.

There, stood before them, was a kid of 5'4, simply covered in blood, holding a crudely made dagger. There, he stood, with long blue hair that was spiked in places and reached down to halfway down his back. On his face stood a look of rage, pure, cold, rage, and around him stood maybe 4 bodies, and a giant mob of 50 people. He started yelling.

"YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?! WHAT DID YOU WANT FROM THEM?!" He now had a look of maddening malice. His eyes were red, with a milky insane look to them.

"THEY HAD NOTHING, YOU IDIOTS! YOU'LL MURDER OVER A PIECE OF BREAD!?" He roared. He walked over to the nearest man, a sneering, crude looking man, and took the dagger, ramming it in his stomach. He kicked the dead body over with indifference, ripped the sword out of the dead hands, and began attacking the other members of the mob. Even with so many witnesses, and every captain's there, no one could describe the attack that stood before them. He had started attacking all of mob, side-stepping almost all of the attacks. All captains were reluctant to step in, not knowing if the 50 members had killed the dead family, or if he had. When later asked, the kid had said they were just random people, but, the most horrid part of is it all, he had killed every single one of them. Every single one. You could practically swim in all the blood that surrounded them. All the captains stood in horror, but after the kid had yelled the entire time, they had learned that those 50 were the last members of a horrific gang, the murders before them had all been this young boy, killing them all. As the kid finally roared in anger, lopping the head off of the final member. He just stood there, panting, on all four limbs. Some of his hair stained in blood. He then stood up, and began laughing. A laugh that they knew no sane person could laugh. The captains finally decided to react.

"RESTRAIN HIM AT ONCE!" Edelina yelled. The other captain's shunpo-ed over, restraining him. They knew he could no longer walk the streets; his signature alone was too strong to be walking the streets among these people. They would have to take him to the seireitei, and they didn't want him in The Maggot's Nest; he'd probably fight everyone there too, and sadly kill them. They would have to take him in, teach him how to use his reiatsu, and let him become a soul reaper. He would have to be taught and probably put in therapy too. With a grimace, and knocking him out, they took the boy back to the Seireitei, where he was first put in Squad 4's Hospital for the severe wounds he had suffered during the fight. He went through the Academy, surprisingly being put in Squad 7; most expected him to go into Squad 11, where he was shortly instituted as a Lieutenant. Shortly after that, he had participated in the shenanigans of the Squad 6's adventure to Hueco Mundo, the horrible incident with Hayashi, the squad 13 captain, and many more. After that, Luppi, the squad 11 captain at the time, wearily said she was resigning, and after a VERY short talk, Blue became the captain of Squad 11.

This was the beginning of the tale of Cameron Blue, now let us go back to how he's running his *** off, screaming obscenities, and running away from that giant horde of hollows I mentioned earlier. At this point we can conclude: the universe loves ****ing with Cameron Blue.

Yes yes, i know I mary sue'd half of this, and I apologize. As I told you before, I really wanted to get a backstory out of the way for the main story..

Alright, I'm going to do a short review of Blue's prologue since he asked me to. Spoiler:

The first three paragraphs are pretty good and well written.Except the part where Ant tricked Blue into using the British spelling of color.
I lawled moderately hard at Edelina Logge. But I did lawl hard at her not having any "redeeming features above the waist."
Your origin story was good and fits you well. But it was a bit hard to read.
I know that Yamamoto/Central 46 would probably have had you executed.
Nice cameo/shout-out for Kusari's fanfic.

Over all, you did pretty good with the prologue for you story.
There were some grammatical errors, but nothing you can't work on.
I look forward to your your next chapter.

Spoiler:- Inverted Souls, Chapter 6:

The Captains have been faced by a new threat unearthed by ILP as Captains reiatsu started to behave erratically, the cause; a previously thought extinct virus that has a new taste for captain status power. The captains have tried and failed to converse with and stabilise with their Zanpaktous, instead unwittingly unleashing the virus, they are infected with, into corporeal form. Now they wait for their reflections to make their move…

-------------------------------

The Captains and some of their subordinates had congregated in the Captains hall, seated on the floor in varying positions, waiting for Golde to return from wherever he had disappeared to. Kida was curled up asleep resting beside Dauc after aimlessly following a butterfly around the room, Arceus was spread out on the floor with Kusari beside him on his stomach, head resting on stapled fingers, leaning against the walls were Rotrum and Jin, both silent and deep in thought. Cell was fidgeting trying to remain stoic like his captain, but personalities tend to get in the way. Newly appointed Captain Blue paced around in circles, throwing punches and fighting off imaginary foes, Lieutenant Eight was watching his Captain with great interest, as Kida’s tail flicked from side to side every so often.

Arceus sighed looking out the window as Arenak settled on the floor to conserve energy.

So far they had summarised the current events to their lieutenants, who were being briefed into what was slowly becoming war. Dauc had had to explain to Eight what was going on as Kida at the time had been very intent on climbing to the highest vantage point she could find.

Dauc looked down at Lieutenant Eight, as he followed Kida’s rapid ascent of Seireiteis pillars, “I guess it’s a predator thing, you know, to keep on eye on potential rivals or prey”, Eight said, moving on as if he’d seen nothing out of the ordinary.

Soul Society has unearthed a new and old threat; a Reiatsu Virus. It’s a parasitic like essence that infects multiple shinigami. The first stage is weakening of the shinigami as it drains the reiatsu; the second is infestation and disturbance of the Inner World, aiming to incapacitate a Shinigami’s Zanpaktou spirit. The third stage, once it has absorbed enough reiatsu, is to take corporeal form which mimics that of its host. The fourth and final stage is fatal, in which the mimicking virus, which we refer to as the Reflection, defeats their host in one to one combat taking over their form permanently.

At least, this is what Captain ILP read out to the group after he’d spent a couple of hours hacking into his own goddamn system to unearth all the nasty little secrets the previous 12th Captain had kept hidden.

They were all mulling over the events they had each experienced, trying in vain to connect with their spirits, only to receive an everlasting dial tone in response.

Suddenly, Kida’s ears pricked and she bolted to an upright position hitting Dauc in the process.

“Nooooo,” he wailed, “not my face, my beautiful face!” Dauc clutched at his face in mock horror, then peered through the fingers to she Kida bouncing on the balls of her feet again.

“They’re here,” he said.

He didn’t need to say more as the captains and subordinates drew their swords and advanced through the doors and out into the bright light of the sun, Kida dashing up the wall to reach the roof.

At first, they didn’t see anyone, so they sent their gazes sky wards, and there they were standing on various pillars and buildings looking down at them.

“Ah, so nice of you to join us,” this was Jin’s Reflection, smirking at them as they lined up against their alternate others.

Dauc’s Reflection hopped down and stepped up to Dauc looking him up and down.

“Meh, could have been worse,” he clicked his tongue disapprovingly.

“Say that again!” Dauc snarled, grabbing his reflection by the scruff of his robes.

The reflection raised his fist back, only to let out a howl of pain. Looking round his reflections head, Dauc saw Kida sinking her sharp canines into the Reflections fist. He had no idea how she had gotten there so quickly, but felt rather relieved that she was on their side. Those teeth hurt, a lot. Of course, if Kida was here, so was her reflection, and right on cue, a blur came speeding down, head butting Kida in the ribs. Both Kida’s rolled away snarling at each other.

Dauc Reflection advanced on Kida, as her reflection tackled her to the ground.

“Hold it you two,” the reflections looked up at ILP’s reflection, he was standing on the very edge of a nearby building, looking rather seriously at them, “explanations first, you can kill them after, it’s just polite that way.”

The other reflections chuckled.

“OF F*** YOU ILP!” Kida’s reflection screamed, “JUST BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN GAINING POWER LONGER THAN US DOES NOT MAKE YOU THE LEADER!!” she muttered a few choice insults, holding onto one of Kida’s ears and pulling, as Kida bit her ankle, making her look down, “Why you little -“

A stream of expletives and a series of attacks by the two females followed this, making the captains wince.

“Cat fight,” Flash Step uttered.

“Don’t you mean wolf fight?” added Arceus as one of the Kida’s was slammed into the floor, splintering the wood, only for the other to retaliate and poke her in the eye.

In the end the Reflection backed off, back onto her perch beside Dauc’s Reflection. Kida didn’t seem to be fazed by the numerous slashes and harsh language, probably not understanding most of the words in her current state; instead she just sat back on her feet, licking the cuts on her arm.

Master Eon and ILP looked at each other, and identical looks of comprehension adorned their faces, as they looked back at Kida who shook herself slightly.

“Now, to business, Rotrum is you would please,” Eon Reflection said, drifting a hand over to where Rotrum stood atop one of the pillars.

“We are your shadows, the doubts and collective dark recesses of your mind and soul, manifested into a corporeal form. But we are mere reflections, in order to gain full control we have to destroy you. Simple really,” He mused, becoming uninterested in the proceedings and looking up at the sky, which had started to turn cloudy and dark.

“Yeah, so do us a favour, just roll over and take it like a man…” Charizard Reflection paused, “Or women”, indicating Kida with an inclination of his head.

This was bad, without their Zanpaktous they couldn’t easily defeat their reflections and without their spirits, honour bound they could not use their dormant forms, but soon they noticed they neither of their alter others had Zanpaktous either. Guess this meant a battle of brawns then; some of the captains were fine with this, cracking their knuckles and standing in their fighting stances. They heard a scratching and looked over as the blue lupine Female started to gouge the floor with her claws, grinning as she bared her canines up at her reflection, who grinned cruelly back.

The captains suddenly realised that they had never killed with their bare hands before, always using weapons to kill or injure. Not this time though, this time it was going to stain their skin.

By now the sky had turned threatening as crackles of light zipped across the clouds.

“Well do you want to die?” The captains turned round, and faced their Commander. Golde, it seemed, had finally returned. They shook their heads simultaneously.

“No? Then grow a pair and FIGHT THEM!”

Spoiler:

Woo~
I'm always happy when you come out with a new chapter.
I really like the concept of your story.
The wolf cat fight was pretty funny, good job there.
Ant's reflection acted about the same way I'd except it too.
Though I didn't see much of me, wondering what my fight will be like.I'm sure some of captains would have used Hakudo or Kido to win a battle before.

NOW I get it. What Aizen stole from Matsumoto was her spiritual energy. The thing he puts it into is the Hogyoku, that's why it absorbed it, because it needed energy. That's how Gin found Matsumoto on the ground that day that they met.

...honestly, I'm surprised I never figured it out before.

"I'm fighting because there's a battle to be fought, Archer. I'm fighting to win. That's all."

"Hm. Alright, Rin. You are indeed my ideal Master. There is no one else I could hope to serve."

You read Percy Jackson?
Just checking, the names in the credits that don't have any of the members' names are your OCs, right?

...To be honest, I lost track of your story. >.< I might have some time to read it again from the beginning. Or you could summarize it

No, but I saw the movie.
We both took from ancient Greek mythology.
Yes, they are.

Hmm, maybe I should include recaps at the beginning. Spoiler:

Here are the main plot points...
Ryuu Schiffer (Ant) and Akira Mizuhashi (You), about 140 before the current story line of my fic, developed a process that could revive latent Quincy abilities in humans. Now in the present, the murder of a Quincy man, and the death of a Stealth Force member while on patrol has the Quincy community and Golde on edge. We learned in chapter five about a secret group of rogue Soul Reapers and leftover Arrancar who were in hiding in HM and their plan to attack SS and the Human World. Chapter 6 is the beginnings of their assault.

That made sense o.o
I never even thought about that. Woo.

Oh, figures. I thought the names were original. :P
And thanks, that synopsis worked. 8D

So thats what Aizen did! I can't believe it never popped into my head -.-
He stole her energy :|

Nah, I tried to calculate it in my head and messed up. I forgot that 2012 is a leap year, meaning an extra day to account for.

Spoiler:- Manga 435:

Ok, that was hilarious. "Oh hey, give it a try. What do you know?!" I lol'd.

Mostly messed up though. Riruka's a bitch, and she's such a freak.

Ginjou's expressions are epic.

Ahh... that's what the Shinigami Representative Badge has to do with all of this. It's perfect... just the sort of thing that Kubo would come up with. If Ichigo uses Fullbring on that, it'll probably restore some semblance of his Shinigami abilities. Makes sense, although something seems off. Can't quite put my finger on what, though.

Also, would one of our many talented artists mind helping me with the banner in my sig?

Add a text bar, black background, red lettering, along the bottom. Have it say Imperfection. Thanks.

"I'm fighting because there's a battle to be fought, Archer. I'm fighting to win. That's all."

"Hm. Alright, Rin. You are indeed my ideal Master. There is no one else I could hope to serve."

So we got a little bit more info on fullbring items. Items you love, eh? What happens if you love at a general thing, but none in particular, I wonder? Like... nature-lovers. XD Now, if I use that definition with water/chess....

That's a PIG all right. 8D yay

I don't like to think what would be the fate of the Yakuza guy. Rurika could be joking, but still...

Something I realised.
Ichigo is probably half Shinigami, half human, half Hollow.
I would expect that from him.

I prefer this explanation better. Reading over this one and the previous one, it seems like it's:
So we know that they control the souls in matter, as Ginjou showed with the alcohol.
"Good compatibility" with an object means you can change its form.
We know Fullbring is an ability of "love" and lets you use things to their full potential.
Riruka has given her dollhouse the "potential" to insert and remove objects, once she's given them "permission" with the shadow.

What this means is that Fullbring is the power to control the soul that resides in matter. Once the Fullbringer and an object have been with each other for a long enough time (let's say that they have the same "wavelength" of souls, maybe someone who reads/watches Soul Eater will understand) then they can push it to its full extent, which includes changing form or given it rules/abilities.

My case would be either my watch or my glasses. If my watch, it'd have the same powers as my Zanpakutou. If my glasses, then I'd think maybe some kind of super glasses, that can show me things like infrared, ultra violet, magnetism, information sorted through a super computer, etc.

Poor Mr. Pork.

Mad Beast Mode, really? Typical Kubo.

It's kind of easy. For example, today is Thursday the 3rd of February. The next "February 3rd" should fall on... Saturday. Watch when I'm so wrong and it's Tuesday.

Speaking of which, I have a Chess match with my Physics teacher tomorrow :3 Let's see if I can kick his ***.

Oh, also, Eon, that's awesome. I'd go more indepth, but slightly in a rush at the moment.

I don't think so...sexist much?well Riruka acted like guys can't love multiple things. we can only show slight fondness for things.

I'm with you there.slowly growing...

They do already.i declare war upon other fanboys!

bolded comments are mine is.

Spoiler:

Why do i have the feeling that when Rukia and or Orihime meet Riruka hilarity will ensue.

Hey, you! Yeah, you! No, not you in front, you there who likes pokémon. Do you like the animé? Do you ever think you'd like to use pokémon and battle like they do in the show?

No offense, but that's some pretty bad math right there. You only need to account for one year. Ergo, as kusari said, it's Friday.

Although, I'm pretty sure I've figured out where you messed up. You accounted for the extra day from the leap year, which would've made it Saturday. The only problem is, that extra day is February 29th, meaning that it hasn't happened yet and you don't need to factor it in.

By all means, take your time. I'm busy with my excessive ammounts of English homework from four different classes atm, so I wouldn't be able to give an in-depth reply.

Although, were you referring to my fanfic, or to my pwnsome new banner?

That's not a crime. I hate Biology, even if I'm decent at it. It's the only science I've ever taken that I've gotten a B in. Hell, the only thing other than higher level mathematics I've never gotten an A in either :/

Although, now would probably be a terrible time to say that I took AP Physics my Sophmore year of High School.

That creepy bear thing in Riruka's dollhouse kinda scares me... I mean, DID YOU SEE IT IN THAT LAST PANEL IN CHAPTER 435???

Yeah, I've been keeping up with the manga, but I'm still as far behind on the anime as ever... Juggling tasks is a bit of a drag... I have time (5 minutes or so per chapter) to read my weekly dose of Bleach, Bakuman, and Naruto, but I don't have nearly enough time to watch half hour episodes of anime... Well, I'll catch up eventually. LOL

Mhm. Remember Ururu's Genocide Mode.

Close enough. :P

Good luck with that.

And, as a footnote, my holiday is ending (D8) so I would be less active... Yeah. I still need to finish my works >.<

Probably a bad time to mention I took all 3 sciences [Biology, Chem and Physics] at A-Level XD .... GAWDDAMN CHEM COURSEWORK

and whoever asked for RED text on the banner ... I am dissapoint. -_-

Spoiler:- manga:

The badge ... lol, we guessed, wonder what it will become, a sheild? a throwing disc? a boomerang? ... XD
The Pig, he is angry ... someone called him fat. HOMICIDAL PIGGEH!
